A hero finds himself utterly outmatched against a mighty demon. Could there be another way to victory?

There are two endings to the story. Let us know your number of deaths in the comments below.

Game Engine: Twine
Graphics: Aseprite

It's our first time doing a narrative game. Telling stories is a tough craft and it's a skill we're not too good at, but desperately need to grow. So we figured why not challenge ourselves to weave a simple tale during the LD? Enjoy! :)

Well. That was a wild ride. Died 12 times on the first ending, 3 on the second. The humor is not bad~

Very funny, art is also very nice :) Died 11 times to get the first ending... still looking for the second one

That was fun. Awesome writing. Laughed my ass off a few times. Got killed 14 times though, before I got to the ending.

Nice take on the theme, love the humor and the graphic style :D

Funny as hell ;) Was surprised to see a click adventure. I like you humor.

TheScragglyMan13 Dec 2016, 10:41

i died 12, not a bad little game, Some things were funny ^^ i liked the art work.

erdiizgi13 Dec 2016, 10:41

I loved the art and all the color selections and I guess I also like text based games. Good luck with that. You can extend this for larger aims.

bodsey13 Dec 2016, 10:41

Very sympathetic narrative game, very humourous, and I love the character design

Cerno_b13 Dec 2016, 10:45

Funny little game. Didn't make it though though. I ended up getting stuck trying random answers since I wasn't clear which path was the right one. Love the graphics. The writing is not all that bad.

caranha13 Dec 2016, 10:48

That will not look good on my resume... But I managed to slay the demon with only 2 deaths!

It was quite funny, thanks a lot for the game!

wowa_u13 Dec 2016, 10:55

Well, this was great!

zzapp13 Dec 2016, 11:14

Awesome entry, the dialog was funny, and the graphics are really great.

Game was pretty funny and I like the art.

asyzruffz13 Dec 2016, 12:39

Quite funny. I like the premise.

fullmontis14 Dec 2016, 13:47

This was very funny and engaging. Love the writing.

PickleCrew15 Dec 2016, 01:22

I love the narrative, very creative and funny.

stefenism15 Dec 2016, 20:58

I had a blast, this was very entertaining. I only died 3 times!

Greek8516 Dec 2016, 10:07

oh! Nice! And it's also online! Can I find it on indiexpo? I'm making videos about the games of this Jam, but only about the games hosted also on indiexpo! Tell me if you will add it, so I can include it in my next video ;)

This was a pretty great entry! Took me 11 deaths to get both endings. The artwork (although there wasn't much of it) was really nice, and the jokes were mostly funny.

The connection to the theme is fairly loose, and I would've loved if there was a bit of audio though; just a simple background track and a nice smashing sound when you lose would really punch this up a bit in my opinion!

Jezzamon19 Dec 2016, 07:17

Sweet game!

Nikteddy9219 Dec 2016, 10:30

HAHAHA
Great entry! I had a lot of fun.
The art is great and the gameplay smooth and intuitive.
Well done.
I'll now go out with malebros, he's funny.

Nice Narrative game ! praise JAMJAM the demon

NORRIMO19 Dec 2016, 12:36

Well that was a funny narrative. The plot twist with the second demon was wonderfull. Great work dudes. :D
It took me 13 deaths to win your game. Was harder than a Dark Souls game. xD
But sounds would be nice.

Diplodino19 Dec 2016, 14:53

8 death and I think it was awesome ! Not really fit in the theme but really fun to play ! :)

Riftpoint19 Dec 2016, 23:22

Such a funny game!!!
I love the art style and the humor. Well applied to the theme.
Congrats!

Oh and I died 16 times lol

kawaiineko19 Dec 2016, 23:40

WOW great writing! Super creative way to work the theme!

Almax2727 Dec 2016, 23:41

Fun story, well written dialogue and excellent pixel art! Given you wrote this in HTML it was odd to have to download it. I would recommend hosting on itch.io or something so you can embed in this page :) otherwise great work!
